Scanning Sojourn: 35mm Plustek -> DSLR (35 and 120) -> ?

I'd shot TMAX-400 in my Bronica SQ with the 80mm 2.8 and a few shots on the 250mm lens, too.

With a 43 MP sensor you get a resolution of about 3000 dpi for the smallest 120 format 60x40, scanned horizontal. That's not enough in my opinion.
A solution could be to scan in two rows and two columns and to stitch the frames. The bigger the format the worse it gets.

As for the Plustek Opticfilm 120, RattyMouse was contemplating buying one (I saw a question about Silverfast Software from him recently). Perhaps he could chime in.

A German web-shop specialized in scanners (ScanDig) is saying that they don't sell the Plustek 120 anymore because there were too many customers with problems.

Yes, I got a Plustek OpticFilm 120 scanner over a year ago and have been pretty happy with the hardware. SilverFast is a pain to use software wise but it does the job.

The output of the Plustek 120 scanner meets my every expectation. 13" x 19" prints look gorgeous. That's the largest I've done so far as my printer maxes out at that size. Still, the scans can go a lot larger as there is no grain at all at this medium size.

Ratty: Thanks for the reply. Did you look at the Braun FS120 which is about the same price? Are you using it for BOTH 35mm and 120?
